ʻAʻole au i manaʻo e holo au i ka marathon. I koʻu hele ʻana i ka laina hoʻopau o ka Disney Princess Half Marathon ma Malaki 2010, hoʻomanaʻo maopopo wau i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, 'leʻaleʻa ia, akā aia kekahi aʻole iki Hiki iaʻu ke hana papalua kela mamao." (What makes you a runner?)

I ʻelua mau makahiki ma hope mai, e hana ana wau ma ke ʻano he kōkua Luna Hoʻoponopono ma ka makasina olakino a olakino hoʻi ma New York City-a ua loaʻa ka manawa kūpono e holo i ka marathon o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo New York me Asics, ke kākoʻo kāmaʻa kamaʻa no ka heihei. Ua noʻonoʻo wau inā e holo wau i kahi marathon, ʻo ia ka mea e hana-a ʻo kēia ka manawa e hana ai. Akā, ma hope o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no ʻekolu mahina a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e paʻi i ka laina hoʻomaka, hele mai ka lono i nā keʻena ma koʻu keʻena i ka pō Pōʻalima: "Ua kāpae ʻia ka marathon!" Ma hope o ka luku ʻia ʻana o ke kūlanakauhale e ka makani ʻino Sandy, ua kāpae ʻia ka marathon 2012 New York City. ʻOiai maopopo, he mea hoʻohoka nui.

Ua aloha mai kekahi hoa marathoner ma Lākana iaʻu no ka hoʻopau ʻana a ua manaʻo wau e hele mai i kona ʻaoʻao o ka loko iʻa e "holo iā Lākana ma kahi." Ma hope o ka noho ʻana a aʻo ʻana ma laila no hoʻokahi makahiki, ua manaʻo wau he maikaʻi loa ke kalaunu e like me ke kiʻi hou ʻana i kahi kūlanakauhale aʻu e aloha nui ai. I loko o ka mahina downtime i loaʻa iaʻu ma mua o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana no ka heihei ʻApelila, ua ʻike wau i kahi mea nui: I makemake hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ka marathon. Leʻaleʻa wau i ka hopena pule lōʻihi (a ʻaʻole wale no ka mea e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai i ka pizza a me ka waina i ka Pōʻalima!), makemake wau i ke ʻano o kahi hoʻolālā hoʻomaʻamaʻa, ʻaʻohe oʻu manaʻo e ʻeha iki-pinepine.

Hiki mai ʻApelila, hele au i Lākana. Hoʻokahi pule wale nō ka heihei ma hope o ka pana ʻana i ka marathon ma Boston, a ʻaʻole au e poina i kēlā manawa hāmau ma mua o ka lele ʻana o ka pū hoʻomaka ma Greenwich. A i ʻole ka manaʻo ʻehaʻeha o ka hele ʻana i ka laina hoʻopau me koʻu lima ma luna o koʻu puʻuwai e like me ke kuhikuhi ʻana e ka poʻe hoʻonohonoho heihei-i ka hoʻomanaʻo ʻana i ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia ma Boston. Hoʻomanaʻo pū wau i ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, "He epic kēlā. Ua hiki iaʻu ke hana hou i kēia."

ʻO ia ka manawa aʻu i aʻo ai e pili ana i kahi mea liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo Abbott World Marathon Majors, kahi moʻo i loaʻa i ʻeono o nā marathon kaulana loa ma ka honua: New York, London, Berlin, Chicago, Boston, a me Tokyo. No nā elites, ʻo ke kumu o ka holo ʻana i kēia mau heihei kūikawā no ka ipu makana nui o ke kālā; no nā kānaka maʻamau e like me aʻu, ʻoi aku ia no ka ʻike, he mekala maikaʻi, a-ʻoia-nā kuleana kaena! Ma lalo o 1,000 poʻe i loaʻa ke poʻo inoa ʻo Six Star Finisher a hiki i kēia lā.

Makemake au e hana i nā mea ʻeono. Akā ʻaʻohe oʻu manaʻo i ka wikiwiki e wikiwiki ai iā lākou (ʻo ia pū kekahi; ʻoi aku wau i ka marathoner ʻehā mau hola ma mua o ka diabolō wikiwiki!). I kēia mahina i hala iho nei, ua nānā au i ka hope loa o kaʻu papa inoa ma Tokyo-ʻo ia paha ka ʻike ʻoi loa o ka loli i ke ola o lākou āpau. Akā ma o ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana a me ka holo ʻana i kēlā me kēia marathon, ua ʻohi wau i nā haʻawina ʻoi aku ma mua o kekahi mau haʻawina e pili ana i ke olakino, olakino, a me ke ola.

Ladana Marathon

ʻApelila 2013

Hoʻomaʻamaʻa maoli ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i ka wā hoʻoilo. Akā pono ia! (E nānā: 5 mau kumu no ke aha e holo ai i ke anuanu maikaʻi no ʻoe.) ʻAʻohe ala e hana ai wau i kahi hapahā o ka nui o ka holo ʻana inā ʻaʻole wau e loaʻa kēia heihei ma ka pae. Manaʻo mau au he haʻuki hoʻokahi wale nō ka holo ʻana, akā ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o nā poʻe e kākoʻo mai iaʻu i kēlā mau holo anu (ma ke ʻano maoli a me ke ʻano kiʻi) ʻo ia ke kī e hoʻopau ai i kēlā aʻo ʻana. I ka nui o kaʻu mau holo lōʻihi, loaʻa iaʻu ʻelua mau hoa ma luna o ka moku e hoʻopaʻa i ka hui i kekahi i kekahi - e holo kekahi i nā mile mua me aʻu a hoʻopau kekahi me aʻu. Ke ʻike nei i kahi mea e hilinaʻi nei iā ʻoe e hui me lākou i kahi manawa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia a kahi wahi e paʻakikī ai ke komo ʻana ma lalo o nā uhi, ʻoiai inā he 10 kekelē o waho.

Akā ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi ʻōnaehana kākoʻo ʻaʻole mea nui wale ia no nā mea holo, ʻo ia ke kī o ka pili ʻana i nā pahuhopu hoʻoikaika kino (noiʻi e hōʻoia i kēia!). A ʻo kēlā manaʻo noʻonoʻo e hele ma mua o ke alanui a i ʻole ka hale hauʻoli: ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o nā poʻe āu e hilinaʻi ai he mea koʻikoʻi ia i ka kūleʻa i ka hana a me ke ola. Loaʻa mākou i kēia manaʻo kūpono ʻole i loko o ko mākou mau poʻo ma ke noi ʻana i kōkua a i ʻole hilinaʻi ʻana i kekahi ʻē aʻe e "nāwaliwali" mākou - akā maoli, he hōʻailona ia o ka ikaika. No ka holomua i ka marathon a i ʻole ma kekahi pahuhopu ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka ʻike ʻana i ka wā e kāhea ai i hope hiki ke manaʻo i ka ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka hiki ʻole o ka hiki ʻole a me ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāu mau moemoeā.

Ma muli o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka heihei 2012, ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa kūpono e holo i ka makahiki aʻe.

He puʻu ʻo New York, he papa heihei nonono, paʻakikī. Lawe kēia heihei iā ʻoe ma nā alahaka ʻelima, eia kekahi, aia ka piʻi "puʻu" kaulana loa ma Central Park ma kahi mau mika mai ka laina hoʻopau.

ʻAʻole loaʻa iā ʻoe ka manawa kūpono e hoʻomākaukau ai no nā luʻi paʻakikī ma ka papa heihei, ma ka hana, a i kāu pilina paha, akā inā ʻike ʻoe e hele mai ana lākou, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā mea āpau i kou mana e hōʻoia i ka hiki ʻana mai. ʻaʻole weliweli loa ke alo pono ʻoe iā lākou-inā paha he piʻi hiki ʻole ia i ka mile hope loa o kāu huakaʻi 26.2 mile a i ʻole ke kū ʻana i mua o kahi mea kūʻai aku nui e hāʻawi i kahi hōʻike pāʻani-hiki ke hoʻololi.

Ua makemake ʻelua o kaʻu mau ipo wahine e hana i kēia heihei kaulana, no laila ua komo ʻekolu o mākou i ka lottery ma hope koke iho o ka pau ʻana o kaʻu NYC.

(Hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i kēia mau ala 6 e holo wikiwiki ai.) He papa kaulana ʻo Chicago, akā ʻaʻohe ala ʻo ka ʻāina wale nō ke kumu aʻu i kahi ai i ka manawa nui!

He kumu yoga kaʻu e kōkua mai iaʻu e kui i ke poʻo no ka manawa mua i kekahi mau pule ma mua o kēia heihei. Ma hope o ka papa, hoʻomaikaʻi au iā ia no kāna kōkua a ʻōlelo wale ʻo ia, "Ua ʻike ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā mea ʻoi aku ma mua o kou manaʻo." He ʻōlelo maʻalahi ia, akā pili maoli iaʻu. Inā paha ʻo ia e ʻōlelo pēlā a ʻaʻole paha, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o kēlā huaʻōlelo ma mua o kēlā kūlana poʻo. E like me kou kānalua ʻole e hoʻohuli iā ʻoe iho i lalo i ka yoga, ʻaʻole paha ʻoe e wikiwiki e manaʻoʻiʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke holo i 26 mau mile ʻeiwa mau minuke a i ʻole e hoʻokō i nā pahuhopu like ʻole āu e makemake ai e hoʻonohonoho nou iho. Akā ma mua o kou hoʻomaka ʻana i ke aʻo ʻana no ia mea, pono ʻoe paulele Hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā wahine e kūʻai aku iā lākou iho i ka pōkole a e hoʻowahāwahā iā lākou iho ("ʻAe, ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa," "ʻAʻole wau hoihoi," etc.). Pono ʻoe e manaʻoʻiʻo iā ʻoe hiki haki i kahi marathon ʻehā mau hola. ʻO ʻoe hiki ʻO ka hope ke kui i kēlā poʻo poʻohiwi, kū i ke ao. ʻO ʻoe hiki loaa ia hana. Hele lōʻihi ka hana paʻa a hoʻokele, akā he mea nui ka hilinaʻi iā ʻoe iho.

Ma ke ʻano he marathon ʻoi loa a kaulana paha o ka honua, ʻo ia kekahi o nā paʻakikī paʻakikī e hiki ai ke kiʻi. ʻO ia kekahi o kaʻu heihei paʻakikī loa. Ua ua, ua kahe, a ua ua hou i ka lā heihei. Hoʻomaopopo wau e noho ana ma ke kaʻa ʻōhua a hiki i kahi e hoʻomaka ai he 26.2 mile ma waho o ke kūlanakauhale, e nānā ana i ka ua i ka puka aniani me kahi lua o ka makaʻu e ulu ana i loko o koʻu ʻōpū. Ua loaʻa iaʻu nā mea haʻahaʻa e manaʻo ai no kēia heihei no ka mea ua hoʻomaʻamaʻa wau no ka hapalua o ka manawa āu e "manaʻo ʻia" e hoʻomaʻamaʻa no ka marathon. Akā ʻaʻole au i heheʻe i ka holo ʻana i ka ua! ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole maikaʻi ia. Akā ʻaʻole ia ka hopena o ka honua-a i ʻole ka marathon.

E like me ka hāʻawi ʻia ʻana i nā pōpō curve i ka hana, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo e loaʻa iā ʻoe ma kahi o hoʻokahi mea "kahaha" i ka 26.2 mile. Inā ʻaʻole ia ke anilā, he hana paʻakū paha ia o ka lole, kahi kuhi hewa wahie, kahi ʻeha, a mea ʻē aʻe paha. E ʻike ʻoe he ʻāpana kēia o nā pōpō curve o ke kaʻina hana. ʻO ke kī e noho mālie, loiloi i ke kūlana, a hana i ka mea maikaʻi e hiki ai ke noho ma ke ala me ka nalowale ʻole o ka manawa.
